We had to replace the front crank seal shortly after buying this vehicle which had 55000 miles on it.
The fan hub had to replaced at 55500 miles approx.
The water pump had to be replaced at about the same time as above.
The front pinion seal was replaced at 60000 due to leaking fluid.
We now have a thump we can feel upon acceleration and deceleration in the steering column and brake. Not sure what this is at this time, but have replaced the tracking bar at the advice of a front end shop. Still has not corrected the problem.
We obviously are not real happy with the reliability of this truck. The engine seems to be running strong, but the average person could not afford this truck with all the repairs Listed above. I certainly wouldn't recommend this truck to a friend or relative. At least to one I like.
Might want to have your motor/transmission mounts checked. That could be the cause of your thump..
